Active duty military members, veterans and their families face unique challenges when navigating a cancer diagnosis. In addition to the extra complexities that can come with navigating the military and VA healthcare systems, cancer treatment and side effects can prevent members from performing required duties which can affect overall service eligibility and career outcomes.
The Colon Club brought together veterans and VA representatives to discuss some of these challenges and share strategies to cope with the complexities that come with a cancer diagnosis in the military community.
